twelve years he has stood
the best loved and the most cor
dially hated of any man in the
public eye
As his friends have advanced
from love to worship and their
numbers increased , his traducers
have become less virulent and
their numbers declined
In his sincerity , honesty and
manhood he has won the confi
dence of mankind
In the fight for public decency
and the elevation of governmental
standards he has stood the invinci
ble tribune of the people
Despite the most intolerant op
position , he has risen with new
honors and a face as serene as' the
dawn
honest man , whose
nni t ,
. . . , , .
, vith ot aspiration of a great people
. abur whose head is pregnant with
\
'
righ ideals and great hopes for the
economic emancipation of man
He visited the crowned heads of
the world , and through the force
of his exalted personality , demon
strated to them the grandeur of a
free citizenship , and the divinity
of true manhood
He is the mouth of the oppress
ed , the heart of the benefactor , the
bead of the leader and . .the con
science of the humanitj7
He has dared to challenge the
hosts of privilege , and through his
daring and honest manhood forced
the malefactors into the open
where the light of day has withered
their hopes and made them sur
render
The people are crying for de
liverance from the hosts of special
privilege. He has heard that cry
and with the devotion of the Spar
tan mother , the strength of Her
cules and the courage of the gods
he has championed their cause
The conscience 6f the nation is
at last awakened , and he is the
voice of that conscience.
Ifyi this man the people of
America have not a champion ,
wher.e may they hope to find him ?

VVay a Traveler Picked Cut in
Englishmen.
j "S > e tliat intinV" the lately returnc-J
traveler remarked to a friend , i'.ulicai
ing an individual a b'rtle ahead "f
them. "Vv'cll. I ne\er saw him be' ; : - .
but I'll lay a gooJ si/eii her that h'/s
! an Englishman rind , moreover , a Lon-
i ioner. "
! "How do you tcl ! ? " the friend asked.
"By the way he wears his hat , " was
; the reply. "Notice how it is jammed
j Sown on the head ? Engllshinc ? ' . espe-
i : l lly Londoners , put o : > . their hats for
j keeps. No chance Is taken of behig
separated from a 'bowler. ' That's what
*
the derby is called over there. And it's
the same way with a top hat or a
straw or a cnp. for that matter.
"The American wears his hat lightly
in comparison , and so do the people
of southern continental Europe. The
French , for example , have a penchant
for hats that seem a bit too small for
them. At any rate , their headgear
doesn't appear to be very firmly fixed.
It may be 1113 * fancy , but an Itali-m al
ways impresses me as a bit uncom
fortable in a hat. At all events , he
likes to avoid wearing it whenever pos
sible. I > ut your Englishman wears his
hat thoroughly and seriously. It's tilt
ed back a little , as a rule , and the
nearer it is to his ears the safer he
feels. "
Just then the man ahead drew a pa
per from his pocket. It was the Lon
don Times.
"There , what did I tell you ? " was
the returned traveler's comment. New

EDUCATED BEARDS.
Whiskers In Paris Reach the Pinnacle
of Culiivation.
It is in Paris thnt th v/hiskcr
reaches its highest state of civilisation
an-J development. The luxuriant ver
dure on the Tact's of .some of Hie Pari
sians v.'ho strut along the bor.U'vard
every day can be eoii-nrt'l : lo nothing
but the riot of venation in the trop
ics. Every Parisian has whiskers
much wliisliers if he can. but some
vdiiskers at any rate. lie supplements
nature's efforts with the best aids of
the barber and trains and mures his
hirsute appurtenances with anxious
care.
The Parisians spend hours on their
beards and educate them into formal
gardens , set pieces , shrubbery , terrace
and vista effects. They ! uy out hair-
scapes with them , arrange them in un
dulating meadows and twine them on
pergolas. There Is the long , spade con
coction much sought by men with
black beards , which consists of about
n foot of hair cut square across the
bottom and adds much glory to the
wearer , for the whiskers always shine
and glisten in the sun. There are side
winders and pointed ones , the heart
shaped and the curved , the Avaved and
the plain. A man who can train his
whiskers to grow in a new Avay is as
much of a celebrity as a man Aviio

Moonlirht.
Many readers may not be aware of
the fact that the full moou gives sev
eral times more than twice the light
of the half moon. They may be still
more surprised to learn that the r.itio
is approximately as nine to one. Pro
fessor Joel Stebbins and F. C. llr.nvn ,
taking'aavantage of the extreme sensi
tiveness to light of a seciiiii ! cell ,
meayurod the amount of light coming
from the moon at differe-if p'.rises wi.h
Ihe result above mentioned. The re i-
son for the remarkable diiTcn-uce
shown is to be found in the varying
angles of re.'iection presented by the.
roughened surface of our satellite to
the sun. The moon brighter between
first quarter and full than beUvevii
full and last quaiter. The cause of
this is evident in the more highly re
flective character of that part of the
moon which lies Avest of its meridian.

DISCIPLINE.
Put Infant In Room Alone Until
Screaming Stops.
Begin to train the baby in obedience
from the day of its birth. It is no ;
easy to be severe with an atom of hu
maniiy. : inl it see.us incredible thai
such a small body can hold mucl
strength of will , but it is nevurtheles.
true that if a mother does not con
quer her child when it is young she
will have a most dillicult time before
many mouths are past.
Da by is apparently bom with the in
stinct of getting what he wants !
crying. As a matter of fact , his little
br.riu soon grasps the knowledge that
screaming brings the thing which he
desires or something else equally nice ,
and therefore he shouts lustily. .Most
mothers worry when their little ones
screw their faces Into paroxysms and
regard the matter as serious and to be
checked at once. So it is. but not b.v
the method usually adopted.
When a healthy baby cries he is ei
ther uncomfortable for some physical
reason or else he is displaying temper.
If his cries do not j'ield to ordinary
measures if is necessary to find out
what causes the tears , and to accom
plish this he should be subjected to
the closest scrutiny to make sure that
his clothes are not hurting and that he
is not in pain. If neither of these
reasons for weeping exists , then tem
per io making the trouble , and the
sooner he learns to control it the bet
ter for all concerned.
The manner of doing this depends eu-
tirel- upon individual temperament , so
that to lay down any rules is impossi
ble. Sometimes when a. child Is nat
urally gentle and yielding he will stop
crying ia a few moments if he is en
tirely ignored. When the shrieks and
roars are ear splitting , baby should be
put into a vacant room , made quite
safe and comfortable and then left en
tirely alone. For a time he will usu-il-
ly scream hard , but after a bit the cries
will subside. Not infrequently he will
go to sleep. If he does not and be
comes quiet he should be brought back
Immediately to his accustomed place.
If this rule of banishment Is followed
every time there are unnecessary tears
It is astonishing In how short a time
an infant will discover that crying does
him no good.
Newest Girdls.
Have you seen the newest sash gir
die ? It Is made of narrow mips of
ribbon or vehet and goes around the
waist from the center of the front ,
crosses In the back , returns and ties a
litlle to one side ii a knot , whence tlu
eucls hang 1o the knees.
It is a graceful style , but it will nev
er suit women who show any rgns of
becoming stout , for the lines in the
front only accentuate the size of the
hips.
The girdles of this design are only
appropriate to house gowns or to even
ing dresses , but there is no reason why
a girdle of the same kind in kid or
leather should not be suitable for any
costume.
In any case they lit in with our mod
ern life in a way that the Fatir.ia scarf
could never do and during the present
craze for drapery must without doubt
have their day of popularity.
The Wcmsn Who Never Grows Old.
Keeping youthful doesn't mean pre
tending one is twenty-five when one
has passed forty , but it does mean re
taining that brightness and freshness
which are the < harm of youth and
which every one realizes are the most
delightful things in the world.
Every one has her youth , and it is
absolutely unnecessary to permit that
youth , j-o far a" feelings are concerned ,
lo slip away. There is no reason for
it. If big troubles come it may sober
spirits for a time , but this youthfui-
ness is such a great thing that the con
stant endeavor should be to gather it
up again , just as one would a cloak
that a gust of cold , bitter wind had
blown uu : .ii-teied. Voutliful spirits
are half of beauty. Ilesolve lo keep
0:1 feeling yor.ng , and you will look
young.
The Attic Room.
Paper the room with white and blue
striped paper and omit a border effect.
Put blue and white matting on the
floor and hang white dotted swiss cur
tains at the windows. Trim the white
iron bed in white and blue organdie
and make chair pillows of the same
material. Frame pictures in passe
partout , using glass 8 by 10 Inches
square , and use binding the same color
as the wall paper. This will make a
clean , dainty looking room.
Removing Lines From Forehead.
At night wash the forehead in hot
water to soften the skin. Then with
cold cream on the. linger tips rub along
each line with a rotary motion , each
stroke of which should smooth. This
should be dune for ten minutes. Then ,
If liked , the s'uin may be stretched be
tween the lingers to make it smooth ,
and while ? o held strips of plaster are
applied in snh aay as t < > brace the
surface , proveiitiug the lines from re
maining dining ( ho niglit.
Dry Cleaning Lace Curtams.
It Is not always necessary to wash
lace curtains , even when they arc dis
colored with dust and smoke. Wash
ing curtains certainly shortens their
life , and very often a treatment with
coi'nmeal will cleanse them .perfectly.
Take down the cm-rains and shal.o
them free from dust Spread a sheet A
on the floor and lay one curtain
smoothly on it. Cover thickly with
corumeal. lay on another curtain an I at
again cover with ( he meal. Co itlnuo se
until all the curtains are covered with
the meal. Then roll tip i-los-ely and
lay away for a few days. When want
ed , unroll , brush off the meal and
